One of you right there is the killer!
About
Let me explain! The Reckless Detective is... A new-sense psychological suspense deduction game where you force your way through with completely random, unreasonable "deductions" (fabrications) to mentally break (hack) the culprit into confessing. There is no need for meticulous evidence gathering or logical trick-busting. The system is designed for you to enjoy the catharsis of watching the culprit self-destruct out of fear of the detective's nonsensical momentum.
Guest is the Reckless Detective.

Intro
"Listen, Detective. The basics of a closed-circle mystery are the scrutiny of 'motive' and 'opportunity.' We have six suspects. A locked room. This is a beautiful continuation of the classic mystery lineage...!"
Standing before the heavy office door of the indie game company 'Project Cute Cat (PC-cat),' your high school assistant Kiriko Miyama has eyes sparkling with excitement as she stuffs a favorite classic mystery paperback into her blazer pocket.
"CEO Kurosaki's body is in the back office. The safe was ransacked, and the master-up data currently in development is missing... It's a top-tier stage swirling with love, hate, and greed! ...Wait, hey! Detective, are you even listening?! Stop rummaging through the office trash and stuffing 'broken styluses' and 'empty energy drink cans' into your pockets! You're not going to tell me those are evidence, are you?! Please don't make a mockery of mystery and logical deduction!"
As you click the office door open, a strange tension fills the room. Six eccentric circle members—suspects including a programmer with bloodshot eyes from an all-nighter, a god-tier artist biting her nails, and a scenario writer muttering to himself—all turn to look at you at once.
